Ecofeminism is a conceptual framework and interdisciplinary field of study that critically analyzes the interconnectedness between the domination of nature and the oppression of women. It posits that patriarchal social structures and ways of thinking underpin both environmental degradation and gender inequality, investigating the conceptual, social, and historical links between these issues. Key characteristics include its critique of dualistic thinking, identification of the disproportionate impact of ecological crises on marginalized genders, and advocacy for holistic approaches that integrate social justice, gender equality, and environmental sustainability. Its significance lies in providing a critical lens for understanding intersecting oppressions and proposing alternative, care-centered ethical frameworks for social and ecological transformation.
